afternoon at o'clock from the Presby-
terian Church. of which the deceased was
a member. The church was filled with
friends and relatives of the deceased and
citizens who esteemed and honored her.
When the funeral cortege entered 10 the
low and solemn strains of the organ while
the choir sang Come unto me when
shadows darkly gather, scarcely dry
eve could be seen in the congregation.
| The services were opened with the hymn
"Jesus Lover of my Soul, aud after
prayer, Rev r. II. Williams pastor OF the
church, made a very sympathetic address
of which we give brief extract below.
In referring to her usefulness in
he church the pastor said:
In what part of our work did she not
| engage
In the regular work of the church she
gave her presence and efforts.
She was a member of the choir, and
was always present, except when away
from the city, or otherwise providential-
ly hindered
She was an active, useful member of
nearly all the Societies of the church.
Though holding a prominent position
in the work of education, she was a schol
ar in our Sabbath School, and showed by
her reverent manner in the study of God s
word, that she esteemed it an honor, like
many of old, to sit at the feet of Jesus
and hear his word.
When we say that we shall miss her,
we do not begin TO express the sense of
our loss.
She made her presence felt, not merely
in the ordinary work of the church, but
in the extraordinary.
When Christmas and Easter came
around, who took more interest in arrang-
ing the garlands and flowers to beautify
thsi Sanctuary than the deceased
When the church needed repairs and
the brush of the painter and frescoer,
who worked more untiringly than this
young disciple whose remains are before
us?
When the remains of your dead were
brought hither for the last sad funeral
rites, who sang in yonder choir more ten
derby and sweetly than our departed
friend?
Now this briefly is what the deceased
was to us as a congregation. It's pleas
ant and comforting record we make of
earnestness, usefulness-a record such as
every member of the church should wish
to have made when he came to the close
of life.
can relate? To her parents she was al
ways respectful, obedient, affectionate.-
She was a devoted sister, ever thinking
of the good of the family. AS friend
her attachment was true, strong, lasting.
As teacher she was tendeIly loved by a
large number of pupils in this city.
How does her active, useful life shame
many of us who do but little for the good
of others-but little to advane the cause
of Christ
Oh, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
If ii be am nearer home
Even today than | think.
Father perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death,
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of living faith,
death has no terrors when the life is true
IT'S living i'll that makes us fear to die -
The choir than sang ASLEEP in Jesus"

way to the cemetery. the last resting
